which radiate from an axis which passes t point 24: of the nozzle to a corresponding point on the other side of the nozzle, of the pasthe openings sages 22 being restricted a; the point where with passages 22 To all whom 'it may concern:

hrough the Be it known that we, MARTHA A. GRAFF- LIN and ROBERT J. GREGG, citizens of the United States, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles, State of California, have invented a new and useful they enter the interior the nozzle, the Syringe, of which the following is a specifiedges of the passages at their delivery point, cation. being sharp and flared in order to spray the This invention relates to syringes liquid or powder within the tube 10. .The

The primary ob ect of the invention is the provision of a vaginal and rectal syringe for administering medicament injections which will thoroughly cleanse the vagina, the streams being directed in such a manner as to separate the folds of the vagina, removing the secretions, and cleansing the outer walls of the womb as well as the entrance of the same.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed can be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the drawings-Figure 1 is an elevation tube 10 gradually increases in diameter as it nears the delivery end, said end being intethreaded to receive the nozzle 25 which is formed with the screw threaded flange 26, and a shoulder 28. The delivery end of the nozzle 25 is concaved and the same is provided with a plurality of spiral passages 29, the nozzle thus producing a whirling, globular spray which will enter the folds of the vagina and remove the secretions from the same, thoroughly purging and irrigating the vaginal canal, and the outer walls of the womb, the spray entering the cleft at the entrance to the womb, thoroughly cleansing the same. Thus vaginal diseases may be thoroughly treated and the vaginal canal and the exterior of the womb spray partly in section, the tube which is used for merit of lacerations Where it is desired to vaginal injections being shown. Fig. 2 is a thoroughly cleanse the fiSSUFBS of the m section on the line 4- 1 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is and remove h film whlch accumulates a d t fl i f th nozzle hi h 1 1. thereon. It will be noted that 1n treating lacerations, that a powdered medicament may be placed in the barrel 12 and the same supplied to the fissures of the womb.

The many advantages of a syringe of this character will be clearly apparent as it will tioned within the barrel.

In the drawings 10 designates the tube which is used for vaginal purposes, the same being so curved as to conform to the curvature of the vaginal canal. The tube at its receiving d i f d ith th Screw be noted that the same may be easily taken threaded flange 11 which extends within the apart and Cleaned and that h ven us parts may be easily and economically manufactured.

What is claimed is:

1. A syringe comprising a curved tube, a barrel secured to the receiving end of said tube, a nozzle arranged within said barrel, the bore of said barrel being increased to accommodate the body portion of said nozzle, the nozzle being formed with a shoulder barrel 12 which may contain a medicament in the form of a powder, the end portion 14 of said barrel protruding within the tubular extension 15 of a bulb 16 or the same may be connected to the tube of a fountain syringe. The nozzle 17 shown in detail in Fig. 3 is housed by the barrel 12, adjacent the tube 10, said nozzle being formed with the screw threaded portion 18 which screws into the screw threaded portion of the barwhich contacts with the shoulder of the barrel. The portion 19 of the nozzle is of rel formed by increasing the bore of the greater diameter than the screw threaded same, the tube belng of greater diameter at its delivery end than at its receiving end.

2. A syringe comprising a curve tube, a barrel secured to the receiving end of said tube, a nozzle arranged within saidbarrel,

portion 18, the shoulder 20 thus formed abutting the shoulder 21 formed by increasing the bore of the barrel to receive the portion 19 of the nozzle. The nozzle is formed 2 1,046,584 the bore of said barrel being increased to In testimony that We claim the foregoing accommodate the body portion of said nozas our own, We have hereto aflizged our sig- 1 zle, the nozzle being formed With a shoulder natures 1n the presence of two wltnesses.
